Of course there are egos.

But I haven't seen them manifest themselves in the way you suggest.

It is really interesting to talk to the soundman and the person behind the bar at a gig though. It's from them you usually find out about the person behind the name.

I don't re-book anyone who is rude to any of the club helpers.

I'll have to tell you the story of one performer who was as nice as pie to me but very rude to the "woman in the kitchen" at one of our weekends..... who as it happened was Wendy!

Interestingly, it's not those at the top of the bill who we have had "attitude" from.
